Talk to Eric and Get the Sea Maps

Upon reaching level seven friendship with Prince Eric, players will receive the Back on the Waves quest. During a conversation with Eric, players will find out that he wishes to get back to the sea and embark on sailing once again. Moreover, he will seek players' help in getting a couple of sea maps and fixing his broken compass.

To secure the sea maps, Dreamers will need to go to Scrooge McDuck. Take the maps from him and deliver them to Eric, who will gladly receive the maps and tell players that he does have a compass, but it needs to be fixed.

Talk to WALL-E and Collect the Required Materials

Upon learning about the broken compass of Eric, players decide to get WALL-E's help on the matter. Upon talking to the shy little robot, players will find out that they need to craft the Dreamlight Magnet to repair the compass. The materials required for crafting the magnet include:

  • 4 x Iron Ingot
  • 6 x Tinkering Parts
  • 8 x Crystal

Iron Ingot itself needs to be crafted at the crafting station. Make one Iron Ingot using five iron ores and one coal ore. Collectively, 20 iron ores and four coal ores will be used to craft four Iron Ingots.

The next item on the list, Tinkering Parts, also needs iron ingots. Six tinkering parts are made from four Iron Ingots. All in all, players need to make eight Iron Ingots in total using 40 iron ores and eight coal ores.

Players can collect iron ore by mining at the rock spots in the biomes of Glade of Trust, Frosted Heights, Forest of Valor, Sunlit Plateau, or Forgotten Lands. The Forgotten Lands will also have crystals, allowing players to kill two birds with one stone.

Craft the Magnet and Talk to Eric
